Zen Monday: Picture + Poem

Chocolate milk gulped straight from the box,
A sliver of cheesecake… and another,
One cold orange,
A few salty olives or snappy pickles,
Sweet and sour something leftover from lunch,
Yogurt with thick ribbons of maple syrup,
Strawberries in a pool of icy cream,
A stick of celery, still leafy,
Orange juice, then champagne,
Peanut butter by the spoonful,
or something classic –
a fistful of blueberries,
the last piece of pizza,
vanilla ice cream, no bowl.
